Double clicking




Hello

I went back and checked to be sure I posted the right video for little John. So while I was in my blog I scrolled around and found that, If I double click on the pictures they will open up full screen.

I am sure most of you knew that but I know there are a few people that may not have known. So put your arrow on the picture and double click. Then you will have a full screen picture instaed of the small one posted.

God Bless
Amen

Hello, I hope the videos have covered a bit of what it is like driving here in Africa and what the little villages look like when you hit the back roads. Mataliza and her mom came by Tiyamike and had a meeting with Will and Pam and after the meeting I drove them back to there village. It was about 45 minutes on the main road and then as in the video when we turned of the main road it was dirt paths and roads for about an hour going through little villages and open plains until we reached Mataliz's village. The people out in these villages never see white people, hardly ever and some have never even seen a white person. They are always kind and friendly and it is as much of an experience for me as it is with them. From the back roads and plains of Africa thank you so much and I pray this gave you a bit of a feel of just what it is like here.

Amen and God Bless

What would a river be in Africa without our dear friends "The Crocodiles"


Backa was a very nice man we meet one day while walking along the river here in Bangula. He goes our everyday in this man made canoe and fishes for food to provide for his family. It is very dangerous because there are so many crocodiles as you can see in the last picture. He has many friends that have been eaten by the croc"s and a few that have escaped attacks but have lost a leg or an arm. Backa makes about a $1.00 a day risking his life on the river  just to provide for his family. So many people I have met here have been to funerals for aunts,uncles and freinds that have died from crocodile attacks along the river.
So if you think your job at home is a bit dangerous then I suggest you come out here to Malawi and spend the day with Backa in his little rickity canoe and go fishing with the crocodiles for a dollar. Ha Ha I don"t think that would be a great idea, better to stay where you are because I am sure you will live a little longer.

Over and out from Malawi, Africa.

God Bless you All
Amen
